Ставки принимаются через менеджераWW2 RAF Aircrew War Service Dress Blouse, Escape Compass Button and Trousers, Original war service dress blouse and trousers named to a ‘Wilson, 402570’ to each label plus his dog tags with his surname and service number. The blouse itself is in great condition, 1944 dated to the label and in a size 15. The padded Air Gunner’s brevet sits in the usual place on the chest with the 39-45 star and the Aircrew Europe ribbons. Printed albatrosses are machine stitched to each shoulder above the Flight sergeant’s crowns and stripes. The crowns are in the economy plastic and the stripes of RAAF origin. The best feature of the blouse is the button having been replaced by an escape compass type button. This type of compass could be hung upside down on a piece of string and the two illuminated dots will show true north. Upon the collar hooks is an ‘AM’ marked ditching whistle, quite a common wartime practice. The trousers are of the standard wartime WSD pattern, bare the label stating they are ‘Royal Observer Corps’. Although its likely they are a period mistake. His name of ‘Wilson’ and service number also confirm this pair belong to this air gunner. A good set of named WSD which has some lovely additional features and worth of further research. A great piece of bomber command history.

Аукцион завершенМинимальная цена продажи 100 £ не достигнутаWW2 USAAF Officers ETO Jacket, British Made, A lovely British made Officers ETO jacket, originally patched up to an officer of the ‘USSTAF’ or ‘United States Strategic Air Forces’. A very nicely done example of an ETO officers’ jacket in which the tapes on the lower arms are present adding to this one’s slightly more unique appearance, adding to that most of these jackets had a button fastening cuff. Clutch back style ‘props & wings’ badges are present on each lapel. Unfortunately, the rank on the epaulettes has since been removed. Judging by the ghosting, they look to have been an embroidered type of Major’s or Lt Col’s leaves. The USSTAF patch sits on the left upper arm. Complete with classic British, wartime period buttons and a tailor’s label, ‘Jones Chalk & Dawson’ of Sackville St, Piccadilly to the inside pocket. Some mothing is present on the lapel and collar, but in no means distracting it from being a very nice period USAAF tunic.

The Distinguished Unit Citation is upon the right chest, which the 353rd was awarded in September 1944. The tunic has seen some sunlight damage, due to slight change of green shade across parts of the blouse, but not particularly noticeable. Lt Col K Gallup mainly flew with the 353rd fighter group, firstly assigned as Group Ops officer in May 1944, until becoming the 350th FS commander. He would become an ‘ace’ whilst flying P-47’s mainly ‘Rat A Dat’ and shooting down 9 confirmed air victories, 2 ground targets and sharing 2 others. The 353rd FG flew from Metfield and then Raydon in Suffolk from April 1944, they were heavily involved in all the major European campaigns, Normandy, Market Garden and the Bulge. Kenneth Gallup would also service in the Korean war and retire in 1965 as a Colonel. Accompanying this blouse, is some research paperwork, a book ‘American eagles’ featuring a colour plate of Gallup’s aircraft, and a signed paper sheet by Kenneth Gallup himself. A great piece of USAAF / 8th Air Force history.
